Matchy, Matchy

Matchy, matchy. I thought that was reserved for what I used to consider to be "old folks". You know, like when an older couple just starts dressing alike over time. Or when dog owners start looking like their dogs. Well, you know what I'm getting at.

Once, about five years ago, my big guy and I went grocery shopping together. About half way through our trip I realized, and mistakenly commented upon, that we were dressed alike. We both had on khaki shorts and pink tops. Yes, my big guy was wearing the new pink T-shirt I'd gotten him. He looked great in it...but, unfortunately, it was to be the first and last time he'd wear it. Dang it. Looking like mom was such an awful realization that he left the store and waited for me outside.

Well, tonight Dave and I went out to eat. As we were walking to the car I said, "Hey, look! We're all matchy, matchy!" Blue jeans and the same color blue shirts. And, since we didn't immediately have a debate about which of us would go back inside and change, I think we've officially entered the ranks of the "old people".

ABOUT ME

My name is Kali Parsons and I absolutely love to create. I paint or sew almost every single day and have been doing so since 2011. I use a wide range of media including acrylic, watercolor, ink, charcoal, collage, and textiles (I love to upcycle unwanted clothing!). I'm inspired by both wonder and challenge and hope to bring joy and provoke deep thought with my work. My original paintings are available on my Daily Paintworks site and prints are available on my Etsy site. I frequently sell my art to fundraise for organizations close to my heart. Please subscribe to my blog if you'd like to receive my blog via email.
